House Oversight Committee subpoenas Miami fertility/OB doctor tied to “Have My Baby” for testimony on birth tourism

Rep. Brandon Gill’s panel issued a subpoena to the top doctor at Have My Baby in Miami as part of an investigation into how the U.S. citizenship process is used in “birth tourism” cases, according to Fox News.

The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the top doctor at Have My Baby in Miami to testify before Rep. Brandon Gill’s panel, Fox News reported on Aug. 28, framing the move as part of a broader effort to examine how foreigners may be benefiting from U.S. birthright citizenship rules.

Fox News said Gill is pursuing testimony tied to what it described as a “booming business” that helps non-U.S. clients arrange pregnancies in the United States, with the committee seeking information about the business’s operations and how clients are recruited or served. The report said the subpoena is intended to place the doctor’s firsthand knowledge on the record.

According to Fox News, the committee’s focus is not on changing the citizenship standard itself through the subpoena process, but on oversight into whether the business’s practices facilitate or exploit the way U.S. citizenship law is applied when children are born on U.S. soil.

The subpoena also raises questions of procedure and enforcement. As described by Fox News, the investigation centers on compliance and transparency, including what medical and administrative steps are taken, what materials or services are provided to prospective patients, and how the business represents its services to clients who are not U.S. citizens.

The report described the targeted doctor as the “top doctor” at Have My Baby, meaning the testimony is expected to provide operational detail about the clinic. In congressional subpoenas, the practical effect is to require the recipient to appear for questioning and produce requested records, subject to any legal challenges or accommodations.

Fox News did not provide, in the information included here, the date of the hearing, the specific document requests included with the subpoena, or whether the clinic has indicated it will comply or contest the directive. The committee’s next step, following the issuance of the subpoena, would be the scheduling of testimony and any follow-on requests based on answers received.

If the doctor does not comply, congressional enforcement options can include further litigation or contempt proceedings, depending on how any disputes are resolved. Regardless of the forum, oversight investigations on medical service providers typically center on due process for subpoena recipients while seeking evidence that can inform whether laws are being followed in practice.

Why It Matters

  • The subpoena seeks in-person testimony and potential records that could clarify how third-party arrangements in “birth tourism” are structured, including operational and administrative details.
  • The timing and compliance outcome will determine whether the committee receives testimony during the current oversight cycle or whether disputes move into legal proceedings.
  • Oversight in this area implicates due-process rights for subpoena recipients while testing whether federal requirements are being met in business practices.
  • The development could affect how congressional investigators approach similar clinics and service networks if the committee concludes misconduct or regulatory gaps exist.
